Hyderabad: Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy said Hyderabad is set to emerge as a high-speed rail hub, with three bullet train corridors proposed from Shamshabad.
Posting on X, he said the corridors would connect Hyderabad to Bengaluru, Chennai, and Pune. As a result, travel time to these cities would drop to less than three hours.
In the latest Union Budget, the Centre allocated a record ₹5,454 crore for railway infrastructure in Telangana. This amount, he said, was nearly six times higher than the average allocation before 2014. At present, railway projects worth ₹47,984 crore are under execution in the state. Meanwhile, electrification of railway lines across Telangana has reached 100%.
High-speed rail corridors to boost connectivity and growth
According to Kishan Reddy, the proposed high-speed rail corridors would strengthen regional connectivity. In addition, the projects would position Hyderabad as a major transport and logistics centre.
He said the new corridors would also support job creation across multiple sectors. At the same time, they would contribute to long-term economic growth in Telangana and neighbouring states.
The minister added that sustained central investment in railway infrastructure would improve mobility. Therefore, he said, the projects would play a key role in the state’s future development.
